“This kid Danny from Michigan showed up at the U.S. Open and just wreaked havoc. I’d never heard of him before, and he slaughtered every discipline-fifth place in halfpipe with a run containing two front sevens, a back seven, and a Cab ten, then sixth in slopestyle. He even had ill moves in the rail jam. Not surprisingly, Danny took the rookie award and had the entire snow media trippin’.”-Dresser
